Naples - Widespread checks were conducted in the heart of the Roma camp on Via Grimaldi, in the Poggioreale neighborhood. The Carabinieri Forestale and the soldiers of the Naples-Poggioreale Company conducted a large-scale joint operation that exposed a vast network of illegal activities, focusing in particular on environmental safety and law enforcement.
